big matt Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys! Elvis (my reference book eating dog)has not attacked this kit yet. He has been eyeing the squirrels in the yard though... Oh well, got going on the paint for this thing. Basic day fighter 74/75/76 with some mottling, or at least my interpretation of basic day fighter camo. hopefully my 75 is not too purple, I got in trouble on another forum for that. here is where the basic day fighter camo ends. The starboard black wing was adopted by a few groups early in 1944, according to some of my source material. I also thought it was cool and reminded me of the Malta Hurricanes i have seen pictures of somewhere. Now I have to figure out how I am going to do the winter white striping, brush or airbrush. I had recently read that the RLM wanted winter camouflage brush painted, not sprayed. Maybe that is my out as I am starting to panic about airbrushing them on.

MikeMaben Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Looks nice Matt, I think if you photo'd it on a white background the 75 would look just fine. Lottsa winter camo was sprayed on, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big matt Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Lottsa winter camo was sprayed on, sorry Thanks Mike, just what I needed. I am still on the steep end of the photography curve. I will get it someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big matt Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Been battling with my airbrush for a while now. Lots of squiggly lines are tough. Still have weathering among other things to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Wow! Adding the squiggles creates an almost instant and dramatic change in appearance. Truly remarkable. Wots wrong with purple? I paint all my plane purple. Looks great, Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlow Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Matt Looks really nice and your work with the airbrush is very convincing. Going to be a distinctive 109 when you've finished. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big matt Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Finished up this fun little 109. lots of squiggles I forgot to take a picture of it when the cockpit was in pieces but I made the auxiliary armament panel below the main instrument panel. Not sure how common it was but I liked it. night camouflage day camouflage That's pretty much it. I really appreciated everyone's input and thanks for looking, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Lovely work Matt, it looks really nice. Something a little different as well. You have a nice touch with weathering too. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruzlkampf Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Suhhhwweeet, Matt! Excellent photography too. When I wuz taking the last pics of my latest '109, I know it was hard for me to capture the lines the way I wanted too. These came out great! What a great camo scheme, really captures the 'late war' flavor of this aircraft. Soo...uh,...(scratch, scratch)...what's next? That BIG ole burly 105? he he. Can't wait to see what you pull out next! Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
